Am thinking about one of my boys who does have a learning disability/processing disorder.....we've got (for the 1st time) some major problems at home...am asking prayers to help me deal with it and especially for my son.


Thank goodness for A/C! :P
A couple from our ASL class is coming over tomorrow afternoon and we are going to play ASL Scrabble and have some take-out together. We want to keep practicing our ASL as new classes won't begin until Fall. So we thought we would play Scrabble, having to finger-spell (and the rest of the players recognize) the word before we can play it. Then also sign the word. We will have our ASL books and dictionaries on the table.
My DH & I have done it, just the two of us, and it was fun, but I think it's more fun with a couple more people. We got the idea from going to a Sign & Dine evening sponsored by our local Deaf/HOH Advocacy agency. That experience spurred us to do it on our own. Mainly because the event itself wasn't a lot of fun.
It wasn't run well, food wise, and also people clumped only with people they know and sat that way all evening. We did see a couple we knew from ASL class and we tried to play with them. Trouble was we didn't come equipped with our dictionaries LOL! So we spoke too much and were balled out by the staff person.
Before we go back to one of the sponsored ones, we want to do our practicing and feel a little bit less stupid next time. *And* we'll bring our dictionaries, text books and our cell phones for looking up stuff. :P
